Tactical Action Officer

The Tactical Action Officer (TAO) is a position in the U.S. Navy held by unrestricted line (URL) Surface Warfare Officers (SWO) on certain warships.[1] They are responsible for the tactical decision-making and combat operations of a ship's combat information center (CIC).

In the television series The Last Ship, the TAO was Commander Kara Green, played by Marissa Neitling for the majority of the series.[2]

In the movie Greyhound, the XO Charlie Cole filled the role of TAO in the CiC.[3][4]
